6 1 'Nr Wrestlers' best season; Stevens goes to state This year proved to be a year of winners, not just in football and basketball, but in wrestling as well. The Warriors finished the regu- lar season with 11 wins and four losses, the most matches ever won by a Har- n'son wrestling team. The team was anchored by seniors James Irvin, Tim Baker, Dan Francis, Scott Shelton, Doug Brown, Rin- eall Gregory, and Arash Moghaddam. llTheir team was the most competitive I've ever had, Coach Wil- liams stated.

When asked how he felt about all ofit, Stevens mod- estly replied, lt was a good season. Stevens, at the 105 pound weight class, had 26 wins, three losses, and one tie. He won first place at the Castle and Harrison touma- ments, the sectional, the re- gional, and semi-state, but unfortunately he lost during the quarter finals of state competition. Irvin, wrestling at the heavy weight division, had 26 wins and eight losses. He placed fourth in the Cas- tle tournament, third in the SlAC, first in the sectionals, second in the regionals, but lost during the semi-state competition. Wrestling takes a lot of dedication and commit- ment. Most wrestlers are at school until approximately five o 'clock in the evening every day Their diets are carefully regulated. But all of that work pays off if they win. B y Shane Foster lTOPl Sophomore Matt Stevens prepares to shoot a take down on sophomore teammate Ben Arrickr Wrestling 21
